Duane the trailer should be ready to rock I repack the bearings and replace a couple, fixed the wire on the left wheel and found the shoes were cracked on that side. Went a head and took it over to L & M to have it double checked and shoe put on it. I was looking over mule to take it this weekend to Waynoka because dad it started making a noise saturday on the way home found out the right front had a bad bearing. So I started taking it apart and heli coil came out for the brake caliper and the inner bearing is still stuck on the spindle but the spindle is off.
